title: [Antisperm and anticardiolipin antibodies in recurrent abortions].
abstract: In this study, antisperm (ASA), anticardiolipin (ACL) and some other autoantibodies have been investigated in 63 cases of habitual abortion, spontaneous abortion and intrauterine fetal death. ASA antibodies and ACL antibodies were positive in 28.5% and 33.3% of the patients respectively. 7 cases (11.1%) were positive for both ASA and ACL antibodies. According to our results it can be supposed that, besides other factors antisperm antibodies may play role in early abortions.
